Ippo anime and manga (GREAT. Underdog story, likable protag, mostly grounded in real boxing with just a thin veneer of fantasy on top)

Ashita no Joe manga (Fucking low rent Ippo, main character is completely unlikable. Research into boxing and exposure of techniques is far inferior, too)

Vagabond manga (I'm not even going to waste time praising this one, the fights are VERY realistic, though sometimes very visually noisy. Top notch research into the era and superb character development, too. Shitty pace at times (all the bishonen wankery Kojiro chapters), wish you'd get more fights with non-punks - though this is a bit too artsy for that expectation, I guess)

Aiki manga (all the objections I had to Kenichi apply, though I like the art a lot more. Almost no respect for martial arts or any real attempt at characterization of the martial arts it's supposedly based on, Aikido

2/2

How about the street fighting in Holyland? I like how articulate the author presenting how the normal people fights.

Fuck off, there's a board for that, and it isn't /a/.

Well, I need them to be related to anime and manga, and specifically this genre. Who else is going to know this shit?

>>157100322
Okay, i'll spoonfeed you.

Instead of asking for recommendations, just say "X is clearly the pinnacle of fightan animoes", and then go on to say that it exemplifies everything you're looking for.

Now await as autists immediately jump in to tell you why you're wrong. After you realize how this works, you'll also realize that half the threads on /a/ should be in /trash/.

Also, sage every thread for no reason. It makes the board better. Trust me.

1. Ranma
2. Strongest Disciple Kenichi
3. none until Girls of the Wild or Change 123 adapted into anime.

What was the one about Girls MMA called again?

That shit needs to be anime

Shigurui for me. We might be after different things here.

And what do you mean matrial arts anime/manga? Poorly written shounen shit like baki?

Terra Formars, despite/because of being about humans turning into mutants to fight mutated cockroaches often with bare hands has quite a lot martial arts stuff to show off.

Teppu is a relatively short manga about girls beating up girls in MMA. Not your stereotypical cute stuff as girl fighters can look quite boyish and 2 women won't be easily recognized as women.

I really found Aiki quite enjoyable and I like Aiki-S. Too many fighters in Aiki-S were some gimmick users but now the translations reached a point where only real martial artists are left fighting.

Kengan Ashura is a pure Martial arts manga. A lot of the stuff in it is unreal, but not more than Baki.

Teppu.

Shigurui is pretty good too. Iku is the best girl.
